We were under the impression that Breeze Presenter would
allow the same animations used in a PPT presentation. I do not need
to synchronize with audio; I want the gif file to continue the
animation for the slide it is on. What can I do? Am I missing some
setting?

Breeze supports all of the custom animations in powerpoint,
meaning that if you take an image or object, and use powerpoint
animations to make it move, then those animations will behave in
breeze the same (or very similar) way that they behave in
powerpoint.

As far as I know, breeze does not turn GIF animations into
Flash animations. Perhaps there's a workaround I can help you
with.
